2000 HONDA CIVIC EURO LOWRIDER SHOWCAR
Such as something like this creation
Build your car however you want but be prepared for the STRONG opinions
Civics and the modification of civics arose from street racing culture - the overwhelming drive to modify civics even today is for performance - taking a small light car and adding 2-10x the power it came with from the factory
The Euro Lowrider scene is full of Civics because aftermarket parts spawning from the street racing market created a slew of cheap body kits and an endless supply of Chinese knockoff parts of all kinds - enter the "billet" market and suddenly euro civics look like old school impalas on wire wheels
In Socal Lowriders are very popular and many socal themed cars/cultures have spawned from living the "low life" --- SoCal style bugs, Classic Lowriders, Euro Lowriders etc...but calling your Civic a "VIP build" is inaccurate and by definition impossible. VIP cars are built for "VIPs" -- What executive would say "Bring my Civic sedan around"? None -- so perhaps in your mind its some VIP machine but in reality its just a Lowrider Civic with some JDM flavor
I applaud your hard work and dedication to your vision - however I must disagree on calling it VIP in any sense of the word or the spirit of the VIP culture.
Best of luck with the build
